简要总结
Group A will be training group and group B will be control group. Deep breathing exercises will be done as baseline treatment in both groups. Both groups will be assessed with Modified Borg scale, 6-PBRT and Fatigue severity scale at the baseline. The control group patients will perform functional active alternating movements for the upper limbs at home involving three sets with 10 repetitions and a rest interval between 1- and 2-minute.
Intervention will be for 3 times a week or 6 weeks. The treatment group patients will perform upper extremity aerobic exercises by using an arm ergometer under the supervision of a physiotherapist. Training intensity will adjust according to 50 80 % of max HR or intensity of dyspnea to 4 points on modified Borg scale (MBS) for at least 15 45 min, 3 times/week over 6 weeks.

This study will measure and record HR by using the heart rate monitor, oxygen saturation (SpO2) by using pulse oximetry and blood pressure, breathing frequency (BF), dyspnea, fatigue, and arm fatigue by using MBS before, during, and after training.

研究组 & 干预措施
upper extremity aerobic exercises
The treatment group patients will perform upper extremity aerobic exercises by using an arm ergometer under the supervision of a physiotherapist. Training intensity will adjust according to 50 80 % of max HR or intensity of dyspnea to 4 points on modified Borg scale (MBS) for at least 15 45 min,3 times/week over 6 weeks.

The control group patients will perform functional active alternating movements for the upper limbs at home involving three sets with 10 repetitions and a rest interval between 1- and 2-minute. Intervention will be for 3 times a week or 6 weeks.

结局指标
主要结局
6 MWT
时间窗: 4 weeks
The 6MWT is a practical simple test that requires a 100-ft hallway but no exercise equipment or advanced training for technicians. This test measures the distance that a patient can quickly walk on a flat, hard surface in a period of 6 minutes (the 6MWD).The self-paced 6MWT assesses the submaximal level of functional capacity.
Borg rating of perceived exertion (RPE)
时间窗: 4 weeks
Borg rating of perceived exertion (RPE) is an outcome measure scale used in knowing exercise intensity prescription. It is used in monitoring progress and mode of exercise in cardiac patients as well as in other patient populations undergoing rehabilitation and endurance training.Borg RPE scale was developed by Gunnar Borg for rating exertion and breathlessness during physical activity ; that is, how hard the activity is as shown by high heart and respiration rate , profuse perspiration and muscle exertion.
